Have you ever actually told your interviewer that you’ve done the case they were about to give you before?

No? Why would you tell them? “Integrity” my ass, this is cutthroat. It’s their problem they pulled a case you had already done

They're usually not.

Sometimes they're using cases from the firm's experience but not necessarily that interviewer. I'm not sure how I would handle it either... I suppose it gives you points for being honest at least. I would think MBB would have records of which case they gave you so that mistake may get caught later anyway

You can tell if someone has done the case before and I got annoyed when someone basically gave me the answers without having asked for the data needed to get to the answers

It has happened both to me personally on a Bain interview where I told the interviewer, and to friend I know for a McKinsey interview. In the Bain case the interviewer had another case and was able to do a decent job (this was on campus round). In the McKinsey case this was the second round in office and they had to scramble to switch the case.

Lol what if it’s a case you’re not familiar with and you say you’ve done it to skip that one?

Can’t tell if this is a real thing if these cases are supposed to be a examples of the interviewer’s work

We keep records, this won’t happen

How is it even possible to get a case you’ve done? Are the practice cases from your firm the same bank and interview cases?

How do you handle it when it takes several hours to complete something that should have taken far less because you went down research rabbit holes that were ultimately fruitless, rewrote the same thing a dozen times to get it "right", or generally let the wheels spin too long? It took me nearly 4 hours to write an email to a client's question yesterday that certainly didn't reflect the time spent drafting it. Do I bill the whole time? Self-edit time down? Bill it and note to Partner to cut?

Also, every time she talks with me, she will start with that fake nice greetings and turns to what she need. Is this kind of person common in your group? How do you feel when work with them
